Questions & Answers about El libro nuevo es bueno.
Why is it libro nuevo and not nuevo libro?
In Spanish, descriptive adjectives like nuevo (new) usually come after the noun they describe. So instead of saying 'the new book', you say 'the book new' (el libro nuevo).
Why do both nuevo and bueno end in -o?
Adjectives must match the gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) of the noun they describe. Since libro is a masculine singular noun, both nuevo and bueno take their masculine singular form, ending in -o.
If we were talking about a feminine noun like la revista (the magazine), how would this sentence change?
The adjectives would change their ending to -a to match the feminine noun. The sentence would become La revista nueva es buena.
